According to the Bridal Association of America , the average cost for a wedding officiant is $263.00. An inexpensive alternative, and a more personable option, is to have a friend or family member serve as your officiant. Thanks to the smorgasbord of ministries online, your selected officiant can become ordained for free (plus a nominal fee of $10 for the certificate) in as little as one day! In addition to saving a couple hundred bucks, you can have a more intimate wedding ceremony overseen by someone close to you and your fiance.
